Joseph A. “Joe” Cammarata 27, passed April 18, 2021. Loving son to Julie Cammarata and Tony Cammarata; dear brother to Charlayna Cammarata; maternal grandson to Ann and the late Clarence Gay, and paternal grandson to the late Joe and Liz Cammarata; nephew to Gwen Williams, Gregg (Pam) Kile, Peggy (Butch) Polaski, Maria Cammarata, and the late Sherrie (Dave) Dillingham; cousin to Kaira (Jose) Cabranes, Alex (Ashley) Williams, Sara (John) Whitfield, Mike Kile, Michelle (Maz) Moshiri, Jennifer Kile, Shannon (Josh) Buchholz, Shawn (Michayla) Polaski, Angelina (Trevor) Giardina-Stewart, Dana (George) Freebersyser, Joseph Dillingham, and Jodi Delius; second cousin to 16, third cousin to 3, and loving uncle to his furry niece Foxy. Beloved by his entire extended family.
Joe Cammarata enjoyed many passions in his short life. He was an avid hunter and fisherman and partook in nearly every season he was eligible for since a very young age. He always loved being outdoors foraging for wild mushrooms, exploring his local environment, or even helping with planting. Joe was a skilled athlete in several sports, including soccer, baseball, wrestling, football, and bowling, from pre-kindergarten through high school, and enjoyed weightlifting and crossfit for many years post-high school. Joe loved grilling and cooking meals for his family. He made friends easily everywhere he went and always made everyone laugh with his witty jokes and goofy personality. He would give the shirt off his back with no questions asked to any of his dear friends or family members and constantly stood up for victims of bullying. He was very vocal about mental health and addiction issues as he battled them, knowing that him speaking up was giving others the courage to seek help as well. He is gone too soon, but his presence in life left a beautiful and compassionate mark on his family and friends. He will be dearly missed.

I didn’t know Joe that well, but I remember when I was working at Kenny’s, he would always ask me to keep an eye on his mom, and I always did. My sincere condolences, gone far too soon.

What a beautiful man!! My heart is breaking for you, Julie. I pray that God’s love surrounds you and your precious mom, Ann, with all of the family, friends and people who loved and cherished Joe just as much as you did. He will always be with you. God bless you and give you peace.

Julie, God gave Joey to you because he needed a special mother to care for him. You were that special mother that NEVER gave up on your son. Joey was special; smart, talented, kind hearted, and very handsome. He cared about others more than himself. During his short time here on earth he touched so many. He has so many loved ones that have greeted him in heaven. I can only hope the journey you are about to embark on gets a little easier with each passing day because in the end you will be reunited with your baby. He may have been taken from you, but no one can take away your memories. I pray the day comes when you think of Joey you smile and thank him for all the joy he gave you. I promise that day will come. ❤️

Julie,
There are no words to help lessen the pain and sorrow or help fill the void left from losing your loved one. Hold onto those precious memories; the day he was born, his first step, first word, first day of school; and all the good that Joey has done. May the Lord grant you the strength and also guide you through this most difficult time. Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies, Bill & Kris Wise
